There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism.

Didnt say there was , In fact Ive said in other posts that it can be helpful
I was merely expressing my sorrow for those that find fault everywhere they go

It's OK in my book to caricature anyone, unless you're a politically correct bore, in which case why are you watching Red Dwarf?

Ha!

Bedfordwhatever, you are saying its ok to impersonate one accent and not the other and you say THEY were racist? And you call me ignorant? Ha, you are discriminating and showing differences between races in a negative way. Pretty offensive, and I'm not even joking for once. Now stop it. All of the people at Dave channel, the crew and cast on red dwarf as well as doug himself are either offensive and just as misinformed as I clearly am, or you are wrong. And I think red dwarf was allowed to air and there was no controversy outside of this forum and definitely none by the French or Asian watchers. What does that mean? And you are the one who made this boring. I made a reference to previous conversation as part of an injone for anyone who wanted to acknowledge it, YOU made it into an argument again. Yawn

The French aren't a "race"....a simple point among numerous other points you've missed about the whole context of why TT offended people.

I had assumed that you at least understood the concept even if you disagreed with it. You clearly don't. I can only suggest you stop embarrassing yourself by discussing it until you do. I'm certainly not going to explain it to you all over again.

It would be as big a waste of time as explaining to Seymour what's wrong with his view that all French people are white!

Interesting discussion of the audience laughter in tonight's episode on G&T right now...I noticed that tonight it was almost rhythmic. It reminded me, if I may draw a poor analogy, of the irritating "what" crowd chants that were prevalent in WWE wrestling at one point. During the Rimmer/Lister drive room scene it felt like the cast had to actually pause mid sentence every 10 seconds to allow the audience to get a laugh out.

It's become really noticeable in this series and is quite distracting.

Even the girl who was offended by the "slag" comment on G&T just openly admitted "we laughed at everything"...even apparently things that weren't meant to get a reaction. I really think some sweetening needs to be done if Series 11 is filmed this way.

Andrew Ellard said a few weeks back that the audience sounding different is down to their sound recorder having their own 'style', much like directors will differ in the way they present what they record.

Its not so much that they sound different. It's more that it feels like they are actually interrupting the flow of the episode now. It's got to the point where I'd actually prefer some scenes to be shot without the audience just to let the scene flow a little...

Watching tonight's episode it finally hit me what's wrong with this new series, and it can be summed up in the following single sentence: It doesn't feel like they're in space anymore.

And can someone please explain what Rimmer meant during his teasing of Lister and the possibility that his ex from earth might have been a man, when he said, "When you did the foxtrot, did you ever wonder why she was shaving?" :shock:

I've tried to like this new series, but the fact that I've deserted tonight's episode 28 minutes in and left it playing in the background while I write this post tells me it just hasn't worked.

That was a peculiar line. :?

Another odd one just discussed on G&T: The "Charades" pronunciation correction from Kryten? That was a bit of a headscratcher...

The thing with this episode and Lemons is that - though I laughed a good amount of times - I think it's actually a little boring, though mostly the second half. I don't look forward to watching either of them back multiple times.

Talking of audience laughter- someone on twitter, I think Llewelyn said something about everything being filmed infront of an audience except what can't be, but those scenes that weren't were played to the audience for a genuine reaction... This didn't have any scenes that were obviously unfolds me in the studio with the audience, any speculation as to which it could be? The vending maching dry humping?

There were a few obvious green-screens that I assumed were those scenes.. such as the one where (if I remember right) Kryten was telling Lister to appreciate what he had on the ship. The background was obviously added in later.

See already kindly requested to stop this discussion so I don't see why you decided to continue it to tell me that I am embarrassing myself with it, which I obviously am not. But just to reply to correct the gap in your knowledge - Taiwanese is not a race and the race (Asian) wasn't mentioned in the episode.

I have to agree a little bit, and I think it's primarily because the story lines just aren't gripping enough or take far too long to get into

Lister: "You know who'd know: that Asian fast food machine..."

Also: The machine is called "A Taste of Asia"

The machine is not actually called "Taiwan Tony": that's what the Dwarfers in their ignorance have nicknamed it.
